It eases reading the code. Updated a few tests that were overly strict
(requiring registers to be named with only numbers) to accept more
register names.
The use of 'nocapture' for parameters and return values is incorrect for C++ types, as they can actually capture a pointer into its own value (e.g. std::string in libstdc++)

LLVM does type based analysis on sret storage types. This is a problem
with non-fixed types whose storage type does not contain the non-fixed
part.

Failing tests that do not test mandatory combine are updated to skip
the mandatory combine pass. Othere tests are updated to use otherwise
removed values.
LLVM r356789 changed the format of textual IR to print nameless
blocks with labels instead of comments with "; <label>". Adjust Swift
tests to match. I also updated the utils/viewcfg script to match.
They were, already, but remove the isConstant parameter to
getAddrOfTypeMetadataPattern(), and just assert that its true for
patterns in defineTypeMetadata() instead.
Also, metadata patterns are i8*, not i8**. In fact they don't contain any
absolute pointers at all.
Should be NFC other than the LLVM type change.
And update the existential container's initializeWithTake implementation
in the runtime. After only allowing bitwise takable values in the
inline buffer we can use memcpy to move existential container values.

This adds the dllstorage annotations on the tests. This first pass gets
most of the IRGen tests passing on Windows (though has dependencies on
other changes). However, this allows for the changes to be merged more
easily as we cannot regress other platforms here.
Most of the work of this patch is just propagating metadata states
throughout the system, especially local-type-data caching and
metadata-path resolution. It took a few design revisions to get both
DynamicMetadataRequest and MetadataResponse to a shape that felt
right and seemed to make everything easier.
The design is laid out pretty clearly (I hope) in the comments on
DynamicMetadataRequest and MetadataResponse, so I'm not going to
belabor it again here. Instead, I'll list out the work that's still
outstanding:
- I'm sure there are places we're asking for complete metadata where
we could be asking for something weaker.
- I need to actually test the runtime behavior to verify that it's
breaking the cycles it's supposed to, instead of just not regressing
anything else.
- I need to add something to the runtime to actually force all the
generic arguments of a generic type to be complete before reporting
completion. I think we can get away with this for now because all
existing types construct themselves completely on the first request,
but there might be a race condition there if another asks for the
type argument, gets an abstract metadata, and constructs a type with
it without ever needing it to be completed.
- Non-generic resilient types need to be switched over to an IRGen
pattern that supports initialization suspension.
- We should probably space out the MetadataStates so that there's some
space between Abstract and Complete.
- The runtime just calmly sits there, never making progress and
permanently blocking any waiting threads, if you actually form an
unresolvable metadata dependency cycle. It is possible to set up such
a thing in a way that Sema can't diagnose, and we should detect it at
runtime. I've set up some infrastructure so that it should be
straightforward to diagnose this, but I haven't actually implemented
the diagnostic yet.
- It's not clear to me that swift_checkMetadataState is really cheap
enough that it doesn't make sense to use a cache for type-fulfilled
metadata in associated type access functions. Fortunately this is not
ABI-affecting, so we can evaluate it anytime.
- Type layout really seems like a lot of code now that we sometimes
need to call swift_checkMetadataState for generic arguments. Maybe
we can have the runtime do this by marking low bits or something, so
that a TypeLayoutRef is actually either (1) a TypeLayout, (2) a known
layout-complete metadata, or (3) a metadata of unknown state. We could
do that later with a flag, but we'll need to at least future-proof by
allowing the runtime functions to return a MetadataDependency.
This includes global generic and non-generic global access
functions, protocol associated type access functions,
swift_getGenericMetadata, and generic type completion functions.
The main part of this change is that the functions now need to take
a MetadataRequest and return a MetadataResponse, which is capable
of expressing that the request can fail. The state of the returned
metadata is reported as an second, independent return value; this
allows the caller to easily check the possibility of failure without
having to mask it out from the returned metadata pointer, as well
as allowing it to be easily ignored.
Also, change metadata access functions to use swiftcc to ensure that
this return value is indeed returned in two separate registers.
Also, change protocol associated conformance access functions to use
swiftcc. This isn't really related, but for some reason it snuck in.
Since it's clearly the right thing to do, and since I really didn't
want to retroactively tease that back out from all the rest of the
test changes, I've left it in.
Also, change generic metadata access functions to either pass all
the generic arguments directly or pass them all indirectly. I don't
know how we ended up with the hybrid approach. I needed to change all
the code-generation and calls here anyway in order to pass the request
parameter, and I figured I might as well change the ABI to something
sensible.
The allocation phase is guaranteed to succeed and just puts enough
of the structure together to make things work.
The completion phase does any component metadata lookups that are
necessary (for the superclass, fields, etc.) and performs layout;
it can fail and require restart.
Next up is to support this in the runtime; then we can start the
process of making metadata accessors actually allow incomplete
metadata to be fetched.
The layout changes to become relative-address based. For this to be
truly immutable (at least on Darwin), things like the RO data patterns
must be moved out of the pattern header. Additionally, compress the
pattern header so that we do not include metadata about patterns that
are not needed for the type.
Value metadata patterns just include the metadata kind and VWT.
The design here is meant to accomodate non-default instantiation
patterns should that become an interesting thing to support in the
future, e.g. for v-table specialization.
This is yet another waypoint on the path towards the final
generic-metadata design. The immediate goal is to make the
pattern a private implementation detail and to give the runtime
more visibility into the allocation and caching of generic types.
* Remove RegisterPreservingCC. It was unused.
* Remove DefaultCC from the runtime. The distinction between C_CC and DefaultCC
was unused and inconsistently applied. Separate C_CC and DefaultCC are
still present in the compiler.
* Remove function pointer indirection from runtime functions except those
that are used by Instruments. The remaining Instruments interface is
expected to change later due to function pointer liability.
* Remove swift_rt_ wrappers. Function pointers are an ABI liability that we
don't want, and there are better ways to get nonlazy binding if we need it.
The fully custom wrappers were only needed for RegisterPreservingCC and
for optimizing the Instruments function pointers.
- Create the value witness table as a separate global object instead
of concatenating it to the metadata pattern.
- Always pass the metadata to the runtime and let the runtime handle
instantiating or modifying the value witness table.
- Pass the right layout algorithm version to the runtime; currently
this is always "Swift 5".
- Create a runtime function to instantiate single-case enums.
Among other things, this makes the copying of the VWT, and any
modifications of it, explicit and in the runtime, which is more
future-proof.
On architectures where the calling convention uses the same argument register as
return register this allows the argument register to be live through the calls.
We use LLVM's 'returned' attribute on the parameter to facilitate this.
We used to perform this optimization via an optimization pass. This was ripped
out some time ago around commit 955e4ed652.
By using LLVM's 'returned' attribute on swift_*retain, we get the same
optimization from the LLVM backend.
To make this stick, I've disallowed direct use of that overload of
CreateCall. I've left the Constant overloads available, but eventually
we might want to consider fixing those, too, just to get all of this
code out of the business of manually remembering to pass around
attributes and calling conventions.
The test changes reflect the fact that we weren't really setting
attributes consistently at all, in this case on value witnesses.
Use the generic type lowering algorithm described in
"docs/CallingConvention.rst#physical-lowering" to map from IRGen's explosion
type to the type expected by the ABI.
Change IRGen to use the swift calling convention (swiftcc) for native swift
functions.
Use the 'swiftself' attribute on self parameters and for closures contexts.
Use the 'swifterror' parameter for swift error parameters.
Change functions in the runtime that are called as native swift functions to use
the swift calling convention.

Swift uses rt_swift_* functions to call the Swift runtime without using dyld's stubs. These functions are renamed to swift_rt_* to reduce namespace pollution.

FastISel doesn't like switch, and it's generally more compact code gen to build conditionals for two-target branches instead of switching all the time. There are many popular two-tag enums (Optional, someday Bool, Either) and this should greatly improve the potential for FastISel to kick in at -Onone.
In practice, this interferes with FastISel and has exposed lots of latent LLVM backend bugs. Using "normal" power-of-two-bytes sized integers is easier to work with and improves code gen performance for nonoptimizing clients like Swift Playgrounds.
Similarly to how we've always handled parameter types, we
now recursively expand tuples in result types and separately
determine a result convention for each result.
The most important code-generation change here is that
indirect results are now returned separately from each
other and from any direct results. It is generally far
better, when receiving an indirect result, to receive it
as an independent result; the caller is much more likely
to be able to directly receive the result in the address
they want to initialize, rather than having to receive it
in temporary memory and then copy parts of it into the
target.
The most important conceptual change here that clients and
producers of SIL must be aware of is the new distinction
between a SILFunctionType's *parameters* and its *argument
list*. The former is just the formal parameters, derived
purely from the parameter types of the original function;
indirect results are no longer in this list. The latter
includes the indirect result arguments; as always, all
the indirect results strictly precede the parameters.
Apply instructions and entry block arguments follow the
argument list, not the parameter list.
A relatively minor change is that there can now be multiple
direct results, each with its own result convention.
This is a minor change because I've chosen to leave
return instructions as taking a single operand and
apply instructions as producing a single result; when
the type describes multiple results, they are implicitly
bound up in a tuple. It might make sense to split these
up and allow e.g. return instructions to take a list
of operands; however, it's not clear what to do on the
caller side, and this would be a major change that can
be separated out from this already over-large patch.
Unsurprisingly, the most invasive changes here are in
SILGen; this requires substantial reworking of both call
emission and reabstraction. It also proved important
to switch several SILGen operations over to work with
RValue instead of ManagedValue, since otherwise they
would be forced to spuriously "implode" buffers.
This prevents the linker from trying to emit relative relocations to locally-defined public symbols into dynamic libraries, which gives ld.so heartache.
Having a separate address and container value returned from alloc_stack is not really needed in SIL.
Even if they differ we have both addresses available during IRGen, because a dealloc_stack is always dominated by the corresponding alloc_stack in the same function.
Although this commit quite large, most changes are trivial. The largest non-trivial change is in IRGenSIL.
This commit is a NFC regarding the generated code. Even the generated SIL is the same (except removed #0, #1 and @local_storage).
